Upcoming Gigs
The Wayward Suns
Saturday 10TH MAY
Gold Coast based Indie outfit The Wayward Suns create a unique brand of music that blends elements of Blues-Funk, Roots-Reggae and Hip-Hop.
The band burst onto the scene in 2017 with the release of their debut album called
‘Paradigm’. The album was aired on radio stations throughout Australia and received positive coverage from Blank GC, Happy Mag, The Point Music News and many more outlets.
“The Wayward Suns weave together raw, earthy instrumentation with spirited vocal
delivery, they create a collage of sounds that’ll leave you hanging on every note. With their textured, rhythmic blend of genres.” – Happy Mag
The band have since played countless shows and festivals in Australia, lighting up dance floors along the east coast and conjuring a dedicated following in the process. Wayward has shared the main stages with some of Australia’s best acts, including the Hilltop Hoods, the Rubens, Mallrat, Lime Cordial, Sneaky Sound System, Melbourne Ska Orchestra and Electrik Lemonade.
Inspired by the current state of mental health in the world, The Wayward Suns recently entered the studio to record new material for 2023.
The Wayward Suns have just released their new single called ‘Yeah Nah’. The release is available on all major online stores.
“Cosmic groove-fusion merchants The Wayward Suns are a collective whose blazing, good times vibe is on the rapid ascension across the local music landscape.” – BlankGC

Kingswood
Saturday 12th July
Multi Platinum & Gold ARIA certified, ARIA nominated, 4 x Golden Guitar nominees KINGSWOOD have returned.
Refined, electrifying, and unapologetically raw, KINGSWOOD stands at the crossroads of vintage rock and modern country. With a sound that feels like a shot of whiskey in a velvet glass—smooth yet burning with intensity—this Australian powerhouse has carved out a space where heartland rock meets the sounds of American nostalgia.
From roaring festival stages to stripped-back honky-tonk sets, KINGSWOOD delivers a brand of storytelling that’s equal parts elegance and edge. Their music pulses with the spirit of classic America —Springsteen’s fire, Petty’s soul and Alan Jackson’s cheek—while weaving in their own signature of soulful harmonies, driving guitars, and a relentless pursuit of sonic authenticity.
With their latest release, a searing rendition of Tom Petty’s ‘You Wreck Me,’ KINGSWOOD brings new life to a timeless anthem. Fuelled by the reckless energy of love and destruction, the track is a testament to the band’s ability to honor rock’s greats while making every note undeniably their own.
“It’s love, chaos, and obsession colliding at full speed. The feeling of being completely wrecked by someone, it’s something we’ve all lived through. Surrendering to a force greater than you’re able to control. The reckless pursuit of something you can’t quite hold onto. When we play it, we’re tapping into that raw, untamed emotion—like going into a boxing ring.”
